Optional RS-232 Module Setup From The HMI
This procedure provides the steps necessary
to setup all
RS-232 Port Module parameters.
Parameter definitions and the default value [default
value] for each parameter are included below:
• Comm Protocol – Allows selection
between standard protocols, DNP 3.0 or
Modbus. [MODBUS
®
]
• Baud Rate – Selects baud rate for COM2,
located on the top of the control. [115,200]
• Parity – None, odd or even parity is
available. [NONE]
• Stop Bits – One or two stop bits are
available. [TWO STOPBITs]
• Sync Time – This time delay improves
robust operation when communication
lines are intermittent. Communication
dead-sync time is the time that the control
will wait from the last received character
and continue without attempting to
resynchronize. [50 ms]
• TX Delay – 1 to 5000 ms in 1 ms
increments. [10 ms]
If the default value for a parameter does not need to
be changed, then skip the applicable steps.
1.
Ensure the control is energized.
NOTE

the display will automatically advance
the cursor to the next digit when input
is momentarily paused.
8.
Enter a valid Level 2 Access code, then
press the "ENT" pushbutton.
If a valid Level 2 Access code was
entered, the display will briefly flash a
confirmation screen and display the
following:
